OFFER!!!

So I have just recieved an offer for the Birmingham GEP course!!!!!  Im so shocked!!!!
I keep on checking track to see whether they have made a mistake or something?? WOW
Best day of my life...

Post interview feelings..If only I could rewind back time..

So I had my interview at Birmingham yesterday for the graduate medicine course. I don't know what to think of it- I feel like it didn't go as well as I thought my Liverpool interview had gone...infact the more and more I think about it, the more I think of how badly it went. I'm actually feeling quite disappointed with myself as Birmingham is my first choice as I've mentioned before! I was just so awkward, I think it was the nerves. At the end the interviewer was like "so are you going on the tour?" and I just feel like he was saying it as in to say like whats the point of going after this crap interview lol but hey maybe I'm reading into it too much? It could infact mean nothing and maybe he was just trying to make conversation but i was just like 'Yeah' but I didn't sound enthusiastic about it (even though I really was excited) lol maybe I should have said it like 'Yeah definitely!!'... But yeah hindsight is such a beautiful thing..

The interviewers were so friendly and I answered all the questions but I didn't come out of the interview feeling too pleased with my answers and I shook my head immediately when I came out of the door and plus it was just over SO quickly, they didn't even ask me any questions about my work experience, I just don't know what they were looking for. I must say I will be very surprised if I get an offer to be honest but I will find out in 2 weeks I guess.. I think there is a 1 in 2 chance of offer after interview for the Bham GEP interview so those are quite good odds. One of the first years that gave the tour said that last year they had interviewed 80 people and they gave offers to 60 people and 53 people accepted although there were 40 places so they had a bigger group than they had anticipated! Apparently the admissions tutors don't want to make the same mistake again this year so they will most probably be giving offers to a slightly lower number of people this time round *sigh*...But anyway I met some really nice people at the interview which made me want to go even there more arghh...

Just trying to take my mind off it (I emphasise trying as thats all I seem to be thinking about today). I've really been thinking about what I'm going to do next year if i don't get into medicine, whether I can face going through the application process AGAIN. Sigh but we'll soon see...

But anyway my cousin is coming tomorrow and spending a few nights so that will be nice and will hopefully take my mind off things and I am going to try and get some shifts from work so yeah will be trying to keep busy for the next couple of weeks...

Oh and thanks to itscomplicated, Grumpy Biomed and areyousure? for your comments in my last post. Your comments really made me feel better about everything..

Feeling a little down..

Hmm I don't why but tonight I just feel really sad and down in the dumps and just felt like writing a post to tell you of this fact. Apologies in advance for sounding so depressing. I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow though.

I don't know why I'm feeling like this to be honest.

I don't know if its the wind which is just so annoying, it seems like there is a tornado going on outside and its even worse because there are so many trees outside our house so the full effect of the wind can really be heard.
Mehh and my interview preparation is just driving me mad. I was practising a few questions with my Dad this evening and it just went badly, I dunno I actually find it harder practising with my Dad. I think I find it easier talking to someone I don't know about my experiences or so thats what I keep saying to reassure myself but I must admit this is how I felt when I was practising with my Dad before my Liverpool interview. I guess I have had an interview before and it wasn't so bad but I just don't want to get complacent especially as my next interview is at Birmingham which is really my TOP TOP choice.
You know I don't even know what I really wanted to talk about in this post so I think I will stop rambling on. I may just have an early night, yes 12am is pretty early for me- over the past few days I've been up until about 3.30am doing absolutely nothing but surfing the internet...
...So yeah hopefully I'll be feeling much happier tomorrow. Goodnight!
